No it wasn't stolen. I put the beer and water in it right before I pulled out the driveway and I never stopped till I got to Cormies.

I have two Coleman Extremes and have not one complaint. In the heat of summer they hold ice very well. As far as ice I never run out and it doesn't cost except regular house expense. If you have an ice maker just bag your own and stack it in the freezer and you always have ice. Ray learned me that trick.

I say check out the Canyon coolers. I have had one for over a year now. It is every bit as durable as a yeti and about 1/3rd the price. You can find them locally for less than the msrp listed.

I have to say I'm a firm believer in post previous not sayin you lyin baybolt. My yeti(75) is my rodholder in my truck and it DON'T MOVE you gotta force it in the bed of the truck because it bonds so well. Sry bout your incident. I don't even strap it down empty.,..

I have a couple of the Yetis, and a big Coleman. Looked hard @ the k2, but they just don't have the fit and finish the Yetis have. Plus the Yeti fits under my leaning post better. As far as holding ice, just depends how often it gets opened.. Have the Coleman for bleeding deer meat out for up to 5 days without adding ice.

I have both yeti and k2 and can't say anything bad about either one. Yeti is much better quality. I've checked out Pelican coolers at Lafayette Shooters also. There the same price as a yeti and seem very well built also.

Even so, I will still be buying a K2 and keeping Coleman's on hand for beating around. The sting is way less noticeable when you leave one at a buddies, or get one yanked out of your truck.

I completely agree!

Talk about a pissed off SOB!
I have had that happen too. Buddies always want to just throw the icechest in the boat when we load up and I make em put it in the bed of the truck or strap it down tight in the boat. They don't believe me, but what happens is you will hit a bump and the icechest will fall over and eventually all the contents will spill out. Then all it takes is the icechest to get turned into the wind and it will fly out.

If you fish by yourself you do not want one of those heavy ice chest. Will throw a back out trying to lift on of those chests by yourself. Also you better protect with your life or its gonna run from u. Whereas my old beaten up igloo, I can leave that thing sitting in my front yard all week and people avoid it like the plague.

LOL.

I had an Igloo that came with my boat. It flew out after 3 years. It is a good cooler for fish slime.

Funny as hell ^ right there But all so true. I have two yetis , one requires a forklift to load and I hardly ever use them because you can not leave them out .

I have been wanting to try K2's because of the local connection and if I get a new one, that will be it.
I agree. Can't stand loading and unloading mine. I use the cheaper ones more often.
